• Just as the skin covers and protects everything
  inside your body from infectious organisms and
  harmful foreign substances, our teeth have a
  tough, protective coating too. Not only the hard
  covering protects your teeth but it also shields
  the sensitive dentine underneath.
• Unfortunately, many of us fail to take good care
  of our tooth enamel, making prone to enamel
  erosion and cavities. Consumption of acidic
  drinks and foods like wine, coffee, and citrus
  fruits on a regular basis and vomiting and reflux
  that cause stomach acids to enter your mouth, can
  be blamed to erode away the tooth enamel.

• Reduce the consumption of acidic foods and
  drinks. If necessary, have your soft drinks, soda
  and other acidic foods during meals.
• On a diet? No matter your fitness goals, dont
  give up on nutritious food. Ensure a
  well-balanced diet even if youre struggling with
  weight loss or gain issues.
• Have acidic drinks in one go without swishing,
  swirling or holding it in your mouth.
  Additionally, use a straw when having acidic
  drinks in order to avoid long contact with the
  teeth.

• Do not rush to brush immediately after drinking
  or eating acidic foods. This gives your teeth
  time to replenish minerals after the acid softens
  the enamel surface.
• Try chewing sugar-free gums after having your
  meals. This helps produce more saliva in your
  mouth, which in turn neutralises acidity and
  restores the natural balance.

• In addition, consuming natural alternative like
  cheese, milk and water, using a soft bristle
  brush with fluoride toothpaste are some other
  helpful ways to keep erosion in control.
• Dental erosion doesnt always need to be treated
  medically. With a few effective prevention steps
  and expert dental advice at your fingertips, one
  can prevent erosion effects from developing and
  your oral health from deteriorating. Furthermore,
  be in touch with a certified 24 hour dentist to
  help in case of dental emergencies as well as
  with regular dental check-ups.
